Vice President Kevin Rochlitz, a University of Wyoming graduate and Powell
native, will discuss his NFL experience with UW College of Business students
Friday, Oct. 25.

Rochlitz will discuss “The Road to Super Bowl XLVII Through the
Eyes of a University of Wyoming Graduate” with MBA students from noon-2 p.m. in
the College of Business board room. His talk is part of the MBA Speaker Series,
which brings in experienced business professionals and executives.

Rochlitz also will talk to two undergraduate marketing
classes earlier in the morning.

“A strong emphasis throughout the MBA program at UW is
placed on providing students with real-world experience,” says Steve Farkas,
MBA program director. “I encourage our guest speakers to share as much
real-world experience with our students as possible.”

A 1989 Powell High School graduate, Rochlitz earned a B.S.
degree (1993) in marketing from UW.

Rochlitz, who joined the Ravens in 2003, was promoted to
vice president of corporate sales and business development in March 2013. He
leads the Ravens’ corporate sales department, which includes national and
regional partnerships, broadcasting contracts and M&T Bank Stadium suite
sales.

Among the contracts completed by Rochlitz, 42, are
partnerships with MedStar Health, AAA, Visa, Coca Cola, MillerCoors,
Anheuser-Busch, Verizon, Southwest Airlines, Ticketmaster, and Dietz and Watson.
At M&T Bank Stadium, he created and sold the Bacardi Bar and Talon Pub, as
well as the club-level bars.

Rochlitz also coordinated the defending Super Bowl champions’
recent partnership with Under Armour, which led to the team’s training facility
being named the Under Armour Performance Center in 2012.

Before joining the Ravens, Rochlitz spent five years as the
senior vice president of sales for Mandalay Sports and Entertainment/Mandalay
Pictures, owners of the Dayton Dragons and Frisco Rough Riders (minor league
baseball). He coordinated the new stadium construction and sold naming rights
for each venue (Fifth Third Field in Dayton, Ohio, and Dr. Pepper Ballpark in
Frisco, Texas).

He was one of the youngest assistant athletic directors (1996-97)
in NCAA Division I-A for the University of Miami. Rochlitz serves on the board
of the Union Memorial Hospital Foundation, as well as the National Sports Forum
Steering Committee, a post he has held since 2001. Rochlitz also serves on the
NFL Club Business Development Committee.

In May 2011, Rochlitz was selected by the U.S. Department of
Defense and Defense Secretary Robert Gates to join the Joint Civilian
Orientation Conference to better understand and promote the U.S. military. He
was among 39 top business leaders from across the country selected for this
work.

He and his wife, Melissa, have a daughter, Riley, 10. He is
the son of Karla and Ken Rochlitz of Powell.
